How does it change in a sentence?
While dwi'n dy gasau is common in speech, adding the pronoun i (me/I) at the end, as in dwi'n dy gasau i, makes the sentence more complete and emphatic.
Did you know?
- The word dy in the phrase is actually the possessive form 'your', making the literal translation closer to 'I am your hating'.
- While dwi'n dy gasau is direct, Welsh speakers often express intense dislike through the 'negative' of love, saying they do not love someone at all.
- Because the phrase uses the possessive dy, using it with a stranger or someone in a formal setting can sound strangely intimate or overly blunt.
